I wouldn't be surprised to see WebAssembly only applications once WebAssembly matures and can "stand on it's own free" honestly. JavaScript for sure will hold dominance for many, many years however.

WebAssembly can not manipulate the DOM though no? Web applications got popular also because creating UIs with HTML and CSS is easy.
